On my profile http://www.proz.com/profile/91005 you will find the URL to download PlusToyz ( (c) Arkadij Visotski) plugin for Word that includes also STAR TRANSIT project to Trados-like segmented text conversion and back.

I used it once or twice and it works. I did it because of translation memories I've had available to pretranslate the material, once it it is in TRADOS-compatible format.

The alternative is to ask some good soul on ProZ to take your project file and export it using XV version - I assume you have Transit PE available only -.

I can vouch for the opposite, i.e. that it is possible. To be as exact I can be: i) PXF needs to be expanded on XV to a real Transit projectii) the language files can be then exported/imported iii) once imported back, TXF can be created for delivery

But ... it's not something I would suggest you do at your home.

PXF files are actually renamed ZIP files

Jan 2, 2008

You can rename the extension, open up the archive with WinZip or another tool and then translate the target language files, which will actually be in an XML format. If you are using Trados, you can find specific details on this approach if you search the Yahoogroups forum for Trados Workbench users. The TXF delivery files are also just renamed ZIP files.

The information that a PXF file is actually a ZIP file is a real eye-opener for me. When working in the Transit Satellite version with more than one person (2 translators or translator and proofreader) we always struggled with exchanging the correct files. Now we can just send each other the TXF file, extract the required files from the TXF file and replace them in our project structure. Thank you very much, Kevin!

I tried to use PlusToys for conversion of XML files from Transit Satellite to Trados format. The version from syntax.webline.pl did not work, but the version from Vito Smolej's profile did. Unfortunately the converted files did not have the correct styles, since the source XML files were not in a standard format. E.g. CDATA tags were formatted as tw4winInternal, while they actually contained transltable text. But the conversion may work fine for standard XML files. Thanks to Arkadi.
